December Theme Day - Waiting



Wow, Theme Day this month really snuck up on me! I missed last month's Theme Day for some reason, can't remember why but I'm sure I had a good excuse and by the time I realized it's time again for Theme Day, it was too cold and wet outside to try to get some pictures so I decided to plow through my picture files and see what would strike me as "waiting"....so, all of a sudden it hit me, this is waiting, in a sense, for me. I'll explain....Sunday Braden and Dalton were invited to a Birthday Party at a roller skating rink. Here all the boys are in the party room, eating pizza and Birthday cake and were laughing at each other because the icing on the cake made their tongues blue so I told them I'd take their picture with their blue tongues. Remember, my camera is broken and stuck on one setting and it's zoom only. So here we are in a tiny party room and I'm telling the kids "skooch in closer, ok, closer, that's good, skooch together just a little closer" as my back is as pressed to the back wall of the room as I can get, I finally, almost, get all the boys in the shot,lol...so, I'm "WAITING" on Santa to bring me a new camera! I've been good (for the most part)...so please Santa, if you are reading this, please bring me that Canon Power Shot, like my old one that broke (before this one that broke) that allowed even me to take good pictures! I'll be "waiting"!

  4. I love this one. I remember going to skating birthday parties when I was a kid. I didnt know they still did them. I hope you get your wish, happy waiting.

  5. I wonder how long the boys had to 'wait' before the blue wore off. We're all 'waiting' with you, hoping Santa is able to deliver the camera on Christmas. But I still love the challenge of taking everything on zoom and how you manage to get such fun images with it.

Your choice is great for today and I do hope you get the camera you want for Christmas. Mine came early - well my pressie to me cos no one else would buy it for me.

  11. Such little monkeys; cameras bring out the best in them. They certainly looked as though the edge of WAITING was removed by the food and attention!

  12. You remind me of that funny Xmas song

    "Santa baby
    just slip a "camera" under the tree for me
    Been an awful good girl
    Santa baby so hurry down the chimney tonight...."

  16. Such cute little red heads with blue tongues!

    Well, it looks like you've been good after all because Santa said he's listening.

  17. Those blue tongues made me remember my own childhood — we loved any food that colorized our tongues, teeth and lips!

    I hope Santa gives you that new camera so you can stop waiting! :)
